I went to the head of the department first - he got the sheriff on campus to let us in and he'll speak to the shop person who was thirty minutes late. The students who were late were very apologetic and three of them have never had a problem before, so I just said it can't happen again - the shared actors who were late, well, that's inexcusable and two of them were alternates who were going to play the Thursday matinee performance, and we fired both because both have simply not been there enough. That leaves us with one alternate and she's been at every single rehearsal and can basically step into any of the female roles. One other gal is very much in danger of going and we'll make that decision on Monday morning - I have someone I can bring in if that happens. I think this gal would really like to do it, but she's just missed too much and unlike the other shared actors, she hasn't been watching the videos are boning up on her solo.
